A joint trial is being planned for three state prison inmates accused of assaulting two Lenawee County Jail inmates in November while being housed in the county facility. A May 22 trial date was set during hearings Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court.

The three are among 20 state prisoners housed at the county jail under a contract with the Michigan Department of Corrections. They allegedly beat two county inmates during a fight on Nov. 27, breaking the nose of a 17-year-old and bruising a 21-year-old.

Prosecutors are to file a motion to consolidate the assault cases for a joint trial for Michael Lawson McGraw, 35, Tori Terrell King, 23, and Terrance Ray Hall, 48.
